Sabreen Alrouh Joudeh was born an orphan. And her life, however hopeful, has proved brief.
During a barrage of intense Israeli airstrikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah this weekend, one blast hit the family home into which Sabreen would have been welcomed, according to local health officials, hospital staff and family members. The blast killed her mother, Sabreen Sakani — who was 30 weeks pregnant with her at the time — as well as her father, Shukri Joudeh, and her 3-year-old sister she never got to meet, Malak.
The family was declared dead at the city’s Kuwaiti Hospital on Saturday, but NBC News’ cameras captured the moment doctors were able to perform a posthumous cesarean section and rescue Sabreen from her mother’s lifeless body.
Limp and lifeless at first, the vernix-covered newborn weighing just over 3 pounds was taken in a golden fabric blanket and rushed to an upstairs room. There, doctors tried for more than two minutes to resuscitate her by pumping air into her mouth and tapping her chest. They were finally, somehow, successful.
From there, she was immediately rushed by ambulance through the night to an intensive care unit incubator at the nearby Emirati Hospital, audibly whimpering on arrival. It was there that her paternal grandmother and uncle paid her an emotional visit, accompanied by NBC News, on Monday.
“I don’t know if we should be happy that she came to life or sad,” said her uncle Rami Joudeh, 25, weighing what should have been the joy of Sabreen’s arrival with the deaths of his brother and sister-in-law, who were just 29 and 27 years old. “Our lives are messy.”
The newborn’s grandmother Alham Al-Kurdi, 55, wept as she reached into the incubator.
“You are my soul, my heart. You are my heart, baby,” she said, tears rolling over her freckled cheeks, her wrinkled hand caressing the infant’s tissue-paper skin as machines chirped around her. “You are my beloved one. God willing, God willing. She is inside my heart.”
t was difficult to get a clear view of Sabreen’s tiny, preterm form through the thick plastic of the incubator keeping her alive. As she was lying swaddled in tubes and wires, those lifelines provided oxygen to her underdeveloped lungs and monitored her fragile pulse. Beneath the technology keeping her alive — a rarity in Gaza where many hospitals have been destroyed by six months of war — her ribs continued to rise and fall.
Though a remarkable vignette, this family has been devastated like so many others in the enclave.
“ according to local health officials, hospital staff and family members”
I don’t believe one word of this article.
I was thinking more along the lines of the Jewish baby the scum (apologies to scum) burned alive.
I knew some people a few years ago who worked in an islamic country who said the people hate the muslim leaders who are imposing sharia law. They told me that imposing of sharia law is the single best thing muslims can do to turn people against islam. Those under it HATE it.
What I am about to say I have never been more serious about.
Do not say one damn thing about her death being good because she was a Palestinian. She was an innocent baby created in the image of God, just as all babies are.
This is some really top shelf propaganda. Kudos.... total BS. But good effort! Brava!
And Israel’s population is 5x that of Gaza. Is this really a metric you want to stand on?
If we thru our “media” and tech social are to dissect and flagellate over every immorality of war from here on out the the. we will never win another one
And just for the record the enemy is not subject to this self induced hysteria
I complain about leftist Jewish influence and debate the why as much as any poster here but I know from a lifetime of Jewish immersion that the Jews I’ve known have little to no chosen chauvinism
Id wager I have more southern chauvinism
Jews I know and I’m in business with three as equity partners right now are Jewish identity driven but it’s not about being chosen
It’s about tradition and belonging and mostly having prevailed despite it all
If that makes sense
Not Dispys
They like that chosen dogma a lot
“Sometimes I think that preacher would like to do a little walking too”
A wee bit of envy from them towards the tribe
[And Israel’s population is 5x that of Gaza. Is this really a metric you want to stand on?]
An interesting footnote is that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen because so many Japanese cities had suffered close to 50% destruction of their physical structures. By picking two relatively intact Japanese cities for the maiden live A-bomb tests in Japan, war planners hoped to get a true picture of its destructive potential in a realistic environment unmarred by the effects of earlier high explosive or incendiary attacks.
The Islamic Rapture calls for the extinction, not just of Israel, but Jews everywhere. Muslims kind of believe it, but aren’t too eager to risk their lives testing out this core Islamic belief, for now.
Hadith narrated by Abi Hurira:
“The last hour won’t come before the Muslims would fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them so Jews would hide behind rocks and trees. Then the rocks and tree would call: oh Muslim, oh servant of God! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only “Gharkad” tree, it is of Jews’ trees.”
Explanation of words
“Last Hour: the hereafter will not come
“Gharkad”: a big tree with thorns and the Jews grew it a lot in Palestine those days
Teachings of the Hadith
1/ It’s fate decided by Allah that the Muslims and Jews will fight till the end of the world.
2/ The Hadith predicts for the Muslims God’s victory over the Jews.
3/ The victory for the Muslims because they are right, and who ever is right is always victorious, even though most people are against him.
4/ God grants victory to the Muslims if they have a true will, if they unite, hold on to God’s sharia, if they go by God’s ruling, if they are patient.
5/ The material strength won’t be enough to warrant victory, it is necessary to invoke God seek his support.
6/ Who ever is with God, God is with him; no matter what hardships and ordeals one would undergo what counts is the final result.
7/ Jews and Christians are the enemies of believers they will never approve of the Muslims, beware of them.]
In all religions, there’s a “my deity is stronger than your deity” dynamic that has come to us probably long before the written word. Military victories strengthened a faith, while defeats weakened it. Part of the reason Muslims drifted from Islam towards a blend of Marxism and Fascism was because they were militarily virile, whereas Islam had seen defeat after defeat for centuries. By erasing Hamas, Israel will be doing the non-Islamic world a service. It will signal to all Muslims that Allah is a feckless deity incapable of protecting his most devout followers. The more Muslims fall away from the religion, the fewer the problems we will have with Muslim minorities.
and the babies that had thier heads chopped off with shovels, put into the ovens in front of thier parents was nothing? and Im suppose to feel uphauled at the Israeli response
Womp womp.
Between Hamas and Russia starting wars. We have two very evil groups in the world.
Yes, Hamas and their supporters are to blame, including all those who voted for them. Yes, all the Germans suffered for what the Nazi regime did, even those who did not support them. So it is with the Philistines in Gaza. Pray for the release of the Israeli hostages and the death or surrender of Hamas.
I dont care. There, I said it.
Once again bashing the Amish.
They are not here to defend themselves.
Are you to much of a keyboard coward to spell out negro or whatever the he!! you were referring to?
